Solution Overview

Problem

Users face complex operations and low efficiency when retrieving or setting data on terminal devices, leading to poor user experience, particularly in scenarios like uploading identity card photos or switching device modes.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect user triggers on controls to perform intelligent actions, such as automatically opening relevant interfaces, retrieving data, and setting modes, through predefined action attributes associated with the operating system, reducing the need for manual operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually search for photos or enter keywords in search boxes to find specific images, then users can locate target data, but operations become complex and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval efficiencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs data retrieval and interface navigation without requiring manual user input. When a user triggers a control, the system autonomously opens the relevant second interface and retrieves target data through matching, eliminating the need for users to manually search or enter keywords.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures controls with action attributes that automatically determine subsequent operations. Before the user needs to search for data, the control is already set up with the necessary parameters and matching logic, so that triggering the control immediately executes the predetermined data retrieval action without requiring additional user steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users perform multiple operation steps to retrieve information, then complete operations can be performed, but user experience deteriorates due to time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation completionVSAvoidtime for manual operations
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple operation steps are merged into a single control trigger action. The control integrates several functions including opening the second interface, retrieving target data through matching, and presenting results - all of which would traditionally require separate manual operations are combined into one automated sequence that executes immediately upon control activation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Measurement precision

If the system provides detailed manual search functionality, then users can precisely find data, but the interface and operation process become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata search accuracyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex data retrieval logic is extracted from the user interface and embedded within the control's action attributes. The matching mechanism and data retrieval algorithms are hidden behind the simple control trigger, providing precise data search capabilities without exposing the underlying complexity to the user. The interface remains simple while the system internally handles sophisticated matching operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method includes detecting a trigger operation of a user on a control on a first interface of the terminal device, where the control is used to obtain target data; and in response to the trigger operation of the user, performing a first action and a second action that correspond to the control, where the first action is used to open and display a second interface, and the second action is used to obtain, through matching, information that is on the second interface and that is related to the target data.
